Ep. 21 – Chas and Dave

This episode is hampered by chesticular sickness, and was made possible by a hot toddy.

To make a hot toddy in the traditional Thwipping Boys way:

– Squeeze the juices from two lemons. Put aside.– Grab cafetiere (or alternative infusing method), realise as usual that you forgot to wash it after your last coffee. Wash.– Place a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a small handful of cloves into the cafetiere.– Place in required amount of boiling water (get a grown up for that bit) for whatever mug you are using.– Place 1-2 teaspoons of Manuka Honey (minimum 10+ activity rating) into the mug.– After 5 minutes or so, pour the hot water from the cafetiere into the mug. Stir until you are certain the honey has melted.– Add the lemon juice.– Add 1-2 shots of whiskey, to taste.– Stir, and sip while it’s still warm.
